if you are george zimmerman's defense attorney, who do you want on that jury? >> well, actually you want someone that doesn't have pre-conceived notions about what's going on because they are completely and absolutely diverse. there are people certain before hearing any of the evidence that this is second-degree murder. this was the actions of a depraved man who knew exactly what he was doing. he was a vigilante. he was a wannabe cop. then you've got your conviction. then you have others who are saying well, this had to have been nothing other than racial profiling so you are going to see, bill, an enormous intense effort in this jury selection because this is -- this is going to burn up the entire summer. at least it will go through probably late july. the proper election of the right kind of so-called impartial jury. >> now i have seen the number six jurors. i thought it was always 12. >> in florida, there are some strange things going down in florida. i don't mean that disrespectfully. whether it's 6 or ten or 12. it's going to have to beun an muss. remember
